the same; quite, so far as testing them

Professor Wiesner, of Vienna, has Just
called attention to an inconvenience at
tending the use of the electric light in
libraries. 1t has been found that a large
number of works in the library of the
technical school had become very yellow,
and this led the director of the establish
ment to ask Professor Wiesner to ascer-
tain h cause of it. Experiment has
show that the celebration is due to light,
but that it occurs only with paper CON
tanning ligneous substances, such as wood.
straw and jute, and that it does not take
place when through some chemical process
the lignine that forms the essential part
of the wood is removed. The yellowing
is due to a phenomenon of oxidation.
Solar light acts more theoretically than
dispersed daylight, which itself exerts
but a very slight action when it is much
diffused, and especially in a very dry
room. Gaslight is nearly harmless, by
TeasUH of the few refrangible rays that it
contains. On the contrary, as the arc
electric light, and, in general, all intense
luminous sources, emit numerous re-
%frangible rays, they favor the following.
As regards the preservation of papers,
then, it will be well to choose gas rather
han the electric light for the illumina-
ton of libraries.

A FINE WATCH.
How"DubIin Tricks, Made a $40 Horse
Trot a Mile In 2:2O.

"All this talk about race horses making
such unparalleled records in private
trials" remarked a sporting gentleman
last evening, has a tendency to make
old.timers weary. 1t reminds me of the
famous Dublin Tricks, a horse dealer
who was a noted character in this sec
ton about ten years ago. He could
handle horses first rate but confined him
self to the profitable business of buying
and selling alleged speedy ANIMALS. His
specially was to buy a roadster that could
trot a mile in about four minutes and sell
it for a 2:20 horse. 1t was extremely
amusing to watch him work an unsus-
pecting and gullible would-be horseman.
After Dublin Tricks had praised a horse
to a man for fifteen minutes that man
would buy If it became necessary to
mortgage his soul in order to secure the
purchase money.
'The traders method was an ingenious
one. After he had been negotiating with
a prospective buyer for three or four
days he would rush up to his victim and
enthusiastically declare that the horse in
question had trotted a mile in 2:22 but a
few hours previous. Come out this
afternoon and see for yourself was a bait
that never failed to hook a sucker
After the pair were seated in a road
wagon Tricks would hand his $500 stop
watch to his companion and with the re-
mark, catch the time would speed the
animal for a mile.
1.-THE horse invariably made within a
second or two of the time claimed by the
jockey, but it wasn't very any months
before the deluded purchaser learned that
the watch was an adjustable one, made
to order for the purpose for which it was
used. Tricks could set the time piece
so that it would vary his way twenty
seconds in a minute. I expect that he is
still working the same old racket

The German Catholics.

CHICAGO, Sept. THE German
Roman Catholic convention ended to-day,
The chief interest of the days session
centered in a dispatch from General
Master Workman s..Powderly, of the
Knights of Labor, protesting against the
Mitsch resolutions against the Knights of
Labor as unkpd, unjust and based on
misrepresentation. He said he was not
an enemy of the Germans and nothing in
his career can so be construed unless his
advice to workingmen to be sober and
temperate can bear that construction.
The knights of Labor, he said are
neither anarchists, socialists or prohibit
t%ionists. but they are temperate. The
secretary was instructed to inform Mr..
Powderly that the resolution had been
registered and to add a statement made
that Mr.. Mitsch did not mean to attack
the entire order of Knights of Labor. He
hated anarchists, revolutionary socialists,
and Prohibitionists, and wanted to have
them denounced.
In the afternoon the officers for the en-
suing year were elected. The only new
man in the list is Second Vice President
Thoredon Scholten, of Chicago. Cincin
natl was selected as the place for holding
the next annual convention. The execu-
tive committee was also elected and a
vice president named for each state.
Before adjournment the members of
the Society of Priests we're given a re-
ception in the convent and several of
them made addresses.
President ~Spannhorst delivered a
speech of welcome to the priests and a
windup to the convention. He referred
to the reported attempts made to draw
German Catholics into a controversy by
charges of their attempting giving undue
prominence to Germans and their Ian
guage, etc., which had resulted in failure.
He said it was just such attacks from a
certain quarter that had helped to make
the convention a success.
About two hundred and fifty German
Catholic priests met at Uhlich's hall in
response to a call for a meeting of the
society. The object of the society was
defined to be to make the general Ger
man Catholic conventions a permanent
institution, to help carry out their resolu-
tious and to draw closer the bonds of
union and brotherly love. An appeal
was made on behalf of the Pope Leo
house for German-American immigrants,
which is to be built in the harbor of New
York.

Circular to the K. of l.,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. THE Times
to morrow will say: General Master
Workman Powderly yesterday issued g
very important circular to the order
everywhere, outlining the new policy
which he recommends should be enacted
into a law of the order at the next gem
eral assembly. The new plan is % give
to each trade the right to organize a
national trade assembly under the iuris-
diction of the general assembly, each
national trade assembly to have executive
control over the affairs of its trade as long
as the constitution OF the general assem-
bly, is not violated. No local assembly is
to enter upon a strike until all assemblies
in the national trade assembly have voted
on the question, and have, by a three
fourths vote, agreed to render assistance,
and no assistance from the general order
is to be given until the case has been pre-
scented to the general executive board and
by them submitted to the order at large.
In case no assistance from the general
order is required, the general executive
board is not to interfere. State, territorial
and provincial assemblies are to be
formed in every state, territory and
province in the jurisdiction of the order.
In the circular Powderly also advises
a general benefit association to be taken
up under direction of the order.

The free delivery system is beginning
to be quite a convenience to Cheyenne
people. 1t would be much more so were
there more than one daily train from the
East or if the trains always arrived on
time. Last evening the train from the
East was over an hour late and the bust
ness delivery by the carriers, usually
made in the evening, had to be deferred
until this morning. When the trains are
over an hour late in. the evening the car
rier windows are opened, but the carriers
will not carry the mail over their routes

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very wonder
full machinery it is. Not only the larger
air passages, but the thousands of little
tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked

your lungs cannot do half their work.
And what they do, they cannot do well

DETROIT, Sept. John Devlin,
eral Master Workman .Powderly calling
attention to the criticisms which have
been freely made upon his policy, as the
official head Of the order, and asking Ger
tain questions concerning the same. In
reply Powderly declares hat he is not a
socialist. He says he owes allegiance to
the Knights of Labor only; hat he has
done a mans part in protecting the or,
der's interests, and hat he has battled
against allowing it to become the tail to
any kite. He believed in excluding all
foreigners brought to this country under
contract to take the places OF American
workmen. This country could support a
thousand million of human beings, but
they must not come all at Cnce.

To appreciate the severity of the eli
mate of Northern Siberia, it is only neces-
sary to understand the practical purposes
it is made to serve. The entire country
is used as a vast refrigerator in preserv-
ing articles of food.
One day a traveller, dining at Tomsk
on n plump fowl, asked how long the
bird had been killed. The landlord evil
IDENTIFY softened his reply as much as pos
sible, knowing the repugnance of most
foreigners to any food not quite fresh.
1.-TWO months only" he said. mot n
day more
No precautions are required for the
preservation of beef, for it takes care of
itself. Nearly all butchers kill at the be
ginning of the cold weather q sufficient
number of animals to furnish provisions
for the entire winter and allow the meat
to freeze. There is no fear of any food
changing i'll such a temperature. The
fish become 50 solid and stiff that they
are set up on their tails against the walls
Of the markets, be the tail ever so long
and the fish ever so heavy.
Often fruits preserved in ice are placed
upon the table of the Siberian evening
meal, the method of keeping them being
similar to that employed with meats. AS
soon as the severe cold sets in they are
exposed to the air, if possible, toward the
north, where there is no sun to reach
them; they thus become completely
frozen.
When eaten they are found to have re-
tanned their lavOr marvelously, notwith-
standing their change from a frozen
rigidity to the thawed state necessary for
use. AT the moment of being served

Keep the Managers Clean.

The more highbred and spirited tho
horse the more dainty he will be about
his feed, and the greater care must be
taken to keep feed-boxes and managers
free from filth. Almost any scrub
would, however, refuse to eat out of
hangers as they often are left, with
portions of the unconsumed hay or
grain to be run over and soiled by
fowls while the horse is away at work.
This is too common condition Of
many farmers stables at this season.
when increasing warmth dulls the ap-
petite and makes soiled food doubly
offensive by its decay. Many hard
worked horse gets off his feed as it is
said, and grows poor from this cause
alone. More care should be taken to
feed only what will be eaten clean,
whether of hay, meal or grain. If any
remains when the horse is taken out in
the morning to work it should be re-
moved from the feed-box and given to
some other animal that will eat it out
side the stable. Chicago Herald.
